~~~*~~~  


Oliver _finally_ finished his Charms revision and tossed his book to the side with near revulsion. Only a few more months, and he was done and gone and finished with school forever, and he couldn't wait. Restless, he pushed himself up out of the chair and gathered the book he'd just thrown and his rolls of parchment and took them up to the dorm. Leaving them on his bed, Oliver went back to the common room. It was too late - too cold and too dark - to go flying, so Oliver draped himself over a sofa in front of the fire and was nearly asleep when an owl flew in and landed on his chest. Drowsy enough to almost think it a dream, Oliver raised an eyebrow at the owl, who extended its leg in invitation for Oliver to take the scroll attached there. Once he did the owl flew off, and Oliver opened the scroll.

  
 _Oliver,_

 _I bet you thought you'd never hear from me again, but I reckon I've always been a bit fond of doing the unexpected. I should have written you months ago, but there was a lot going on at work, especially with my fall report and the winter rush to get field work done, and before I knew it, I looked up and realised it was February again._

 _How did your week with Puddlemere go? I'd be willing to bet it was absolutely brilliant, especially since I remember watching you play at that one game and thinking how you were bloody well near professional calibre even back then._

 _Look, Oliver, I just wanted to say that ~~I'm sorry~~ things shouldn't have ended so badly between us. That maybe I should have been a bit more grown up, too, instead of ~~running away from my feelings and the hurt in your eyes~~ how I was. But there's a time for things, and then there's time past, and I hear from Percy that you've been doing well, and you've got a bloke now. I'm glad you do, you know, and I hope things are going well for you both._

 _Anyway. I just wanted to write and say hello, and see how you've been doing, and to remind you to keep an eye out for escaped homicidal maniacs when you're sneaking about for a bit of privacy._

 _Take care._

 _Sincerely,_

 _~Bill_

  
He didn't realise he'd nearly jumped into a sitting position. He had no idea how many times he read the letter before he realised he was shaking, and it only dimly occurred to him because the parchment was making a rustling noise in his hands. _Bill_ , he thought numbly, and read the words yet again.

Promising herself she'd read it over again in a bit, when her brain wasn't quite as badly addled from writing nearly twelve inches for Professor Snape's most recent sadistic assignment, clearly designed to drive every last one of his students mad even while it was cleverly disguised as a simple essay assignment, Angie spelled the ink dry and rolled up her parchment. Looking around the Common Room, she suddenly realised how late it had gotten when she saw how few people were about; even Harry and his friends had given up huddling together and looking constipated. Oliver was sitting on a nearby sofa, reading something, and Angie very nearly said something teasing about him turning into a nerd. Then she realised that Oliver's face had gone sheet-white and he was staring at a parchment in his hand.

Everything else forgotten, Angie was over there in a flash. She covered Oliver's hands with her much smaller ones, trying to get his attention. "You look like you've seen a ghost," she said quietly, not looking at the letter just yet, since she trusted Oliver to show it to her later, anyhow. "All right there, Oliver?"

"I don't know," Oliver said, raising dazed eyes to hers. "I just got an owl." He swallowed hard, shrugged and looked away. "I don't know," he murmured again. Oliver shifted to hold out the letter just slightly, not sure he wanted to share it with anyone, but letting Angie choose whether to take it or not.

Angie tugged gently on the parchment, but Oliver's hands wouldn't let go. "Is it your mum?" she asked, pulling the letter enough to see strong handwriting, vaguely familiar, slashing across the page. It seemed innocent enough from what Angie could see, asking after Oliver and all, but then she saw the signature at the bottom, and couldn't think of anything else to say, except for, "Well fuck me."

It startled a soft laugh out of Oliver. "I did that already," he said, grin fading almost as soon as it had flashed across his face. "He's glad I have a bloke," Oliver murmured. "Why is he writing to me now if he's glad I have a bloke?" Oliver forced himself to relax his grip, to let Angie take the parchment. It was as if he were letting go of Bill himself, and Oliver bit back the soft whimper that wanted to escape his throat.

"I don't know," Angie murmured, dark eyes scanning Bill's letter. "If it were a girl, I'd say she was trying to get you back. But he hardly acted like he wanted you when he had you..." She trailed off, bit her lip and curled up against Oliver, head on his shoulder and arm around his waist. That had come out a whole lot more harshly than she'd meant. "Sorry," she said quietly. "Maybe he just misses you?"

Oliver shook his head. "I don't know," he said again. She was right, however much it hurt to think it. Or rather Bill had wanted him, but only that - want. Sex. It wouldn't have mattered who he'd been, not really. Oliver's lips quirked in a humourless smile. As long as he'd been an athlete, anyway. Oliver sighed. "Should I write him back?" he whispered. God, he wanted to. Oliver had managed, mostly, to shove Bill into the back corner of his heart. He was never gone, not completely, but Terence had become Oliver's focus. Now, with just this letter, Bill was larger than life again, shoving everything else to the side so Oliver could only think of him. "Fuck."

"What about Terence?" Angie asked, because she knew what would happen if Oliver let Bill back in again. She could hear it in the tired and defeated note to his voice, and see it in the slump of his shoulders; since the day Bill had shown up at that match, there hadn't been room for anyone else, not really. Angie had hoped if Oliver and Terence made a pair of it, she'd have her best mate back, and to some extent, she did. But there were times, when Oliver didn't think she was watching or anyone would notice, that Angie could tell... "Do you want to write back?"

"Yes," Oliver said immediately, although so softly he was almost inaudible. He turned his head and buried his nose in Angie's hair. "Terence is my bloke," he said a bit louder, the slight hint of scorn in the words not entirely muffled even though he spoke into her hair. "The one he's glad I have."

"And Terence loves you," Angie agreed, squeezing Oliver, glad for the both of them they were alone. For a while, Angie just listened to Oliver breathing. "Maybe he wants you to be happy?" she said at last, not really sure who she meant.

Oliver shrugged. "Then he should have left me alone," he said bitterly. The small mocking voice in his head that reminded him he hadn't been entirely happy was ignored. Mostly.

Angie took a breath and held it. Why Weasley couldn't have left well enough alone, Angie would never know. "So go with what makes you happy now," she suggested at last, not really knowing what else to say.

Oliver hugged Angie close and didn't answer.

"It's your turn to cook," Bill called as he and Nigel walked into his kitchen. "I'll fix us a cuppa." He shrugged off his top shirt, not a single button actually done up, and draped it over the back of a chair. Still wearing cargo pants and his undershirt, Bill ignored the rude gesture Nigel sent his way, and reached for the teapot and cups. There was just something so calming after a long day at work, something _centering_ about the casual domesticity. It really was a pity that Bill knew he and Nigel would most likely try to kill each other inside of a week if they tried to make a pair of it.

Shaking his head at himself, Bill barely heard the scratching at his window. Looking over, Bill saw a plain brown Hogwarts owl, looking very put out to be left in the pouring rain outside, and he quickly let the poor creature in. The skin on the back of Bill's neck prickled as he untied the scroll and paused in surprise at the familiar handwriting; the letter wasn't from Percy. Slowly, now, Bill unrolled the scroll and leant against the counter, Nigel, dinner and their tea forgotten as he read.

  
 _ ~~Dear~~ Bill,_

 _  
Unexpected is an understatement. I'm just fine, thank you, and very surprised ~~you bothered~~ to hear from you. Terence - my bloke - and I are very happy.  He loves me._

 _My week with Puddlemere turned into the rest of the summer and was beyond brilliant, which was a good thing, since I didn't have ~~anyone else to spend the time with~~ anything else to do. Apparently they agree with you. They intend to sign me as soon as I leave school. Which can't possibly come soon enough._

 _The maniac is after Harry or so they say. He's not interested in me. Which you should understand. I'm fine._

 _I hope you're ~~happy~~ ~~miserable~~ fine too. And tell Nigel it's not my fault. I left you alone. You wrote me first._

 _  
~~I miss you.~~   
_

_Oliver_

  
Nigel nearly ran into Bill; he'd pulled food from the icebox and turned to the stove without really noticing that Bill was in the way. Bill was standing with a letter in his hand, but his eyes were fixed instead of moving over the page. "Bill?" Nigel asked, grinning slightly, but his eyes were concerned. He waved one hand between Bill's eyes and the parchment. "Hello?"

Bill blinked and looked up slowly, a wry grin that didn't make it to his eyes quirking his lips. "It seems Oliver's happy," he said, and tossed the letter onto the table, before turning his back on Nigel, hands busy with making tea. "And that he's not forgiven me, either."

"Ah." Nigel glanced at the letter, wondering if Bill would let him read it, or if he even wanted to. "So you finally wrote him. Did you expect him to have forgiven you already? He was very hurt."

"He's always so over dramatic," Bill said with a stiff shrug, fussing a bit more than necessary over the tea. "Knowing Oliver, he probably vowed to never love again, complete with morose gazing out of windows at rolling storm clouds. But at least I didn't make too much of an arse of myself and actually say anything that might make it seem like I was doing anything like thinking about taking your advice." Something occurred to him, and Bill let his hand still as he turned to Nigel, one eyebrow raised inquiringly. "Why would I have to tell you that it's not Oliver's fault?"

"What?" Nigel at first was honestly confused, and then he remembered Oliver's letters, and realised that Oliver must have said something in his letter to Bill. What had he said? Colour began to creep up Nigel's cheeks and his gaze dropped to the food he was preparing. "I have no idea."

Snorting, Bill carried the tea to the small kitchen table and poured them each a cup. "Is that so?" he asked in a deceptively mild voice. "Because it sounds to me like there's something I ought to know now that I've gone and listened to you."

Nigel sighed, knowing he'd never be able to keep a secret from Bill, especially not this one, not when Oliver was talking about it, and... "Fine. It's not his fault. I told him to leave you alone and he did." Nigel began chopping the vegetables faster in the hope that feeding Bill might distract him from talking.

"I see," Bill said. "Wait, no, not really. Why would you do something like that, when you were the one who's been feeding me all that nonsense about hearts and flowers and getting back together for months now?" This was so much easier to focus on than the fact that he was quite clearly too late, and Bill was sure he'd crack later on, but for now... "Not Quidditch, mate."

Tossing the chopped vegetables into the skillet, Nigel reached for the package of beef and opened it, quickly cutting the meat into strips and adding them to the skillet. "I said nothing about flowers," he said almost defensively, and then he sighed again. "It was just after you... just after. He wrote to ask how you were and I told him to leave you alone."

"Oh." Bill reckoned he ought to thank Nigel for that, really, since he probably wouldn't have been very good at dealing with Oliver trying to check up on his handiwork back then. But at the same time, he couldn't quite bring himself to do it. "Is dinner ready yet?" he asked instead, pulling out a chair and sitting heavily, letting his shoulders slump while Nigel wasn't looking. "I'm bloody well starving."

"Almost," Nigel said quietly, relieved to be Not Talking About Oliver Anymore. He knew it would come up again, and wondered uneasily how drunk Bill would get after dinner. Nigel vowed to himself not to drink a drop, no matter how much Bill had.

Bill sat at the table, listening to Nigel cook as he stared down at his tea, watching the steam rise and curl. A part of him had honestly expected Oliver to metaphorically jump into his arms again, just like he'd used to, and it stung that he hadn't. At the same time, Bill was proud that Oliver had grown up that much instead of staying the frantic, clinging kid he'd been; it had been flattering, true, but at the same a bit unnerving. If only, Bill thought wryly, Oliver hadn't chosen now to develop this strength.

Waiting until Nigel finished cooking and served them both, Bill contemplated a bit of beef on the end of his fork before looking up, his jaw set with determination. "I still want him back," he said at last, the words ringing strangely coming from him, but freeing at the same time to not have the alcohol to blame this time. "And you have to help me."

Nigel raised an eyebrow. "I do, do I?" he said a bit wryly. He could hear the determination, the underlying steel in Bill's tone, and sincerely hoped this wasn't a case of Bill just wanting something he'd been denied. Hoped for both Bill's and Oliver's sakes that Bill truly was ready to love Oliver this time. Nigel hesitated briefly, then said quietly, "Don't do this if you aren't ready, Bill. It's not fair to break him again."

"You're my best mate. It's your job," Bill pointed out. "Otherwise, I'll be making _you_ miserable by being miserable on my own." He reheated their tea even though they didn't need it, just buying a few seconds' worth of time. "I didn't want to break him in the first place, you know. I only wish I could have been allowed to keep him like I wanted then, too."

"Hm." Nigel wanted to ask Bill why he'd left Oliver in the middle of the night if he'd wanted to keep him, but decided discretion was the better part of valour. Or peace. Instead he said, "I'll do whatever I can, of course. I'd rather not be miserable." Digging into his own meal, Nigel watched Bill more carefully than his casual tone indicated. "What are you going to do?"

"That's where you come in," Bill said. He managed a half-smile, looking sheepishly over at Nigel, "I haven't the foggiest how to woo and all that rubbish. I can fuck and have a good time, but you're the one with all the romantic notions."

Nigel choked on his carrots, swallowed, and started to laugh helplessly. "Because I've had so many successful relationships," he said, trying for sarcasm but still laughing too hard to manage it. The laughter faded into a grin, and Nigel said, "Well, my first impression is at least let him get out of school before you jump in. But more letters won't hurt. You need to figure out who he is beyond being fuckable."

Bill snorted. "If you insist," he said, and arched an eyebrow in challenge. "I'll have you know that Oliver's not only fuckable, but he's emotional, more intelligent than he gives himself credit for, loyal to a fault except for when dealing with daft cursebreakers, and he still sees the world in black and white. He's also fucking terrible at hiding even the slightest thought from showing on his face. I'd never really seen anyone literally light up before, but that's what he'd do, and..." he trailed off and ducked his head, suddenly fascinated by the food in front of him as he coughed slightly. "Well, we were together for months. Of course I picked up a few things," he muttered, blushing.

Both Nigel's eyebrows rose. "And you said you only fuck," he said. He was suddenly much more confident about this whole situation; Bill had been paying attention to more than the sex. "Still. Start with letters." Nigel debated reminding Bill that he and Oliver hadn't exactly been _together_ , it had been torrid nights separated by long periods apart, but once again held his tongue. Considering Bill's immediate defense of the boy, they must have done more than just fuck. Nigel reached out and poked Bill's arm. "Write him back."

Flipping Nigel two fingers, Bill rolled his eyes. "Yes, _Dad_ ," he said, and then turned back to his food. They were quiet for a while as they ate, and when they were done, Bill stood and collected their dishes, putting them in the sink for later. He turned to Nigel, who was now leaning against the fridge and looking far too smug about being the put-together one, and impulsively touched their foreheads together. "Thanks, Nige," Bill whispered, tilted his head and then slowly, softly kissed him.

Nigel lifted one hand to cup Bill's face and smiled. "S'what friends are for," he murmured. Patting Bill's face, Nigel pulled away. Oliver didn't have a chance of resisting Bill, but then again, Nigel was fairly sure the kid didn't want one. At least he hadn't before; hopefully things hadn't changed too much.

~*~*~*~*~*~

  
 _Oliver,_

 _Congratulations on the offer from Puddlemere! That's absolutely brilliant, and I'd just like to say that I knew you wouldn't have any problems turning professional. You're very good, you work very hard, and those scouts would have to be bleeding morons to miss all that. Will you be able to use the Nimbus there, or will you need another broom? I haven't got all that much to spend my money on, being as I'm working most of the bloody time, so if you'd let me, I'd honestly like to do that for you._

 _So it's love? With you and this Terence bloke, I mean? Good on you both, I reckon; I haven't dated really. A few one-offs and a handful of horribly uncomfortable first dates, going to the clubs a few times a month. I could blame work for taking up my time, but to be honest, none of it really feels right, like clothes that are cut for someone else. Not, mind you, that I've told Nige that; he looks for reasons to cluck over me, you know._

 _Speaking of Nigel, he said yes, he knows it isn't your fault. I had no idea you'd written him, and it was like pulling teeth to get him to tell me that much. I don't suppose you'd enlighten me, since he won't? Being as, of course, I was the subject on discussion?_

 _There's been talk of one of the Human-held positions at the London offices freeing up in the next couple of years. Something about retirement thirty years past due. My supervisor mentioned it last week, and I've been thinking about putting my name in for it; the letters my parents have been sending me make it sound like I might need to come home. They say there have been whisperings of You Know Who again, especially with Black escaping Azkaban , and I remember the last time. I remember the way Mum used to go about with a pinched look on her face, and Dad used to come into our bedrooms when he thought we were sleeping, and just cry. If things start again, I've decided I'm coming home, and this London position would be the perfect opportunity._

 _Look at me rambling on, and you probably don't want a thing to do with me anymore, if your last letter's anything to go by. I'll stop soon enough, but there's just one more thing that I really do need to say, and then I'll leave you alone if you want me to. It's just that I should have said this ages ago, but I was a right bastard about it when you needed to hear it._

 _I'm sorry, Oliver. About sneaking out on you. I reckon I thought it would hurt you less if it was quick-like. It wasn't until I got home and realised that the hollow pit in my stomach wasn't because I was hungry, that I knew I'd made a fucking terrible mistake. And by then, it was too late to change things. Rather like now, really, since we're months past and on with our own lives, but you still deserve to know I've manned up enough to admit I was wrong._

 _Right. I'll go now. I just wanted to say that, and to let you know that if you wanted to write now and then and tell me how your classes are doing or anything like that, I wouldn't mind at all. So long as you and your bloke don't mind my writing back._

 _Fondly,_

 _~Bill_

  
~*~*~*~*~*~*~

  
It was nearly two weeks after the owl brought Bill's second letter before Oliver even showed it to Angie. He'd read it so many times the paper had actually torn where he'd folded it. He'd put a preservation charm on it after that, but had left the tear alone. He did not show it to Terence, or mention Bill to his boyfriend. He almost didn't show Angie at all, but finally one night in the first week of March he hesitantly approached her in the common room. She was working on something, and he waited until she looked like she was almost done with it before settling himself on the sofa next to her. "Are you busy?"

Angie held up a finger as she jotted down one last note. "Flitwick and his ruddy revision assignments," she muttered, gratefully shoving her books aside. "Why'd I sign up for so many N.E.W.T. classes this year, anyhow?" Looking over to Oliver, Angie cocked her head and smiled. He looked anxious about something. "What's up?"

Instead of answering, Oliver handed her the letter. "I don't know what to think," he said morosely. He slumped back into the sofa and closed his eyes. "I miss him."

Reading the letter quickly, Angie sighed as she folded it back up and handed it to Oliver once more. "Sounds like he's changed," was all she could think to say, because she knew what she'd want it to mean if she were in Oliver's place.

Oliver shrugged; it did sound as though Bill had changed, or as though his opinion of Oliver had, or some combination of the two. "What about Terence?" Oliver whispered hoarsely. "Angie, what should I do?"

"You _love_ Terence," she whispered back, almost fierce as she pulled Oliver's face toward her own, trying to make eye contact. "And he loves you so much it makes me green with envy."

"I know," Oliver said miserably, refusing to meet Angie's eyes. He pulled her into his arms and buried his face in her shoulder. "I do love Terence," Oliver said, and thought _but I love Bill more._ "I love Terence," he said again.

Oliver's misery and confusion was so thick, Angie could almost feel it in the air around them. "I know," she sighed. The way Oliver loved Bill, even after all this, was almost enough for Angie to want to believe in him. "But you don't know if Bill wants things back the way they were, and we both know that's no way to be. You were so miserable between visits, and he never treated you right, and..." She sighed and kissed his hair, holding her best friend and rocking slightly. "I don't know. I just don't know. Maybe he's changed, maybe he hasn't..."

Oliver's breath caught in his throat and he swallowed hard. He would not cry. _Not_. He squeezed his eyes tightly shut. "I don't know either," he whispered. "He doesn't seem to want things back like before, only he said..." Oliver sighed. "He said he made a mistake. That he was wrong."

"Well," Angie said slowly, "he _did_. And he was. And he hurt you enough you dumped him, so don't forget that just because he wrote one pretty letter." She rubbed his back and rocked slowly. "I hated seeing you like that," she whispered. "Don't let him break you again, he's not worth it."

"I won't forget." Oliver sighed and relaxed into Angie. He didn't agree. Bill was worth anything, but Oliver had Terence now, who had shown him kindness and tenderness and who deserved to be loved. "I love Terence."

For a while, Angie said nothing. She just hugged Oliver close and worried for him, for Terence. "You should tell him," she whispered. "Terence, I mean."

"I have. He knows I love him."

"About Bill," Angie clarified. "He should know, don't you think?" She didn't have to ask to know Oliver hadn't told his boyfriend about Bill.

Oliver laughed shortly, bitterly. "What should I tell him, Angie? 'The bloke who broke me wants to be friends again, only I don't know if I can do that because I'm still in love with him. But I love you, too.'" Oliver shook his head. "I don't think so."

Angie sighed and kissed Oliver's cheek before pulling back slightly, but not enough to break their cuddle. "I think he would want to know," she said, and shrugged. "But it's up to you, I reckon." Looking up at him, Angie managed a small smile. "You could always tell Weasley to take a long flight on a short Cleansweep."

"No," Oliver laughed softly, wryly this time. They both knew he couldn't do that. "I'll think about it, Ang, but really. What could I possibly say to him?" Sometimes things with Terence seemed so fragile. Oliver wasn't sure how Terence would react to knowing about Bill. Besides, he wasn't sure he could share how happy Bill had made him without emphasising the fact that he didn't laugh as much, or smile as wide as he used to. And he knew he could never tell Terence how much it had hurt to let Bill go.

"I don't know," she said at last, squeezing Oliver again. Settling in against Oliver, Angie pulled them into a proper cuddle. She didn't want to think about how badly this could end. Not just now. "We could probably use some more practise on the pitch if you can get us the air time," she said instead.

"Yeah, I can do that," Oliver said, grateful to have something else to focus on. He settled against Angie comfortably and let his mind drift, his fingers absently worrying one edge of Bill's letter in his pocket. It was only polite to write back. Right?

 _Bill,_

 _  
Thank you, I thought it was wicked too. I still can't quite believe it, and Angie is almost more excited than I am. It will be hard work. Professional play just doesn't compare to school teams, and I'm nowhere near ready. But I can get there, and they seem willing to give me the opportunity. My Nimbus is perfectly fine, I've taken very good care of it. It's honestly the best present I've ever had, Bill, and I wouldn't fly anything else. I don't need another broom yet. Thank you, though. Besides, you shouldn't spend your blunt on me anymore._

 _Yes, Terence loves me. I mean, we love each other. It's been very good. ~~Except somehow I'm the top now, and I don't~~ I never thought I'd trust a Slytherin, but he's a very un-Slytherin Slytherin . He draws, and he's a brilliant artist. I hope you find someone who fits you. Love is a wonderful thing. ~~I could have shown you.~~_

 _You're lucky to have Nigel to cluck, just like I have Angie. Be nice to him. He really cares. I just asked him how you were, is all. I was ~~worried~~ curious. He was upset with me, I think._

 _There's a lot of talk about You Know Who. Or rather, a lot of not talking about him and rather obviously, you know? I don't know what to think, but I'm no one, so I'm not really worried yet. I suppose I should be. I'm sure your mum would love to have you home all the time. ~~I would too.~~ Gringott's is lucky to have you either place, is what I think._

 _It's not that I don't want a thing to do with you, it's just - what did you expect, Bill? You vanished and said it was my fault, and acted like I was wrong to be upset. It's not like ripping a plaster off, you know. Every minute with you was worth the weeks apart, to me anyway. You couldn't have been more obvious that you didn't agree unless you'd said so. And then your letter came. I felt so stupid, reading that. It wasn't too late until the letter. Thank you for your apology. I didn't think it would matter this long after, but it helps._

 _Terence doesn't know about you and I'm not telling him about you now. I've learned that maybe it's best not to tell one's lover everything. I told you everything, and look what happened to us. But if you write I'll answer, although I think Angie wishes I wouldn't._
